+# About me
+
+I'm Sami Samhuri, a software developer and general technology geek. Sometimes
+I write my thoughts and post my projects here. I moved to [Victoria, BC][vic]
+in 2003 to study computer science at the [University of Victoria][uvic], and
+drop out a couple of years later.

+[uvic]: http://uvic.ca
+
+
+## What I do
+
+I spend a lot of time writing web apps with Ruby and JavaScript, and less time
+making things for iOS and Android. I dabble with lots of other technologies for
+fun and profit and have been known to do some ops and devops.
+
+My public work includes [some open-source projects][proj], and there are even
+more on [GitHub][] but you'll have to wade through ones that I've forked from
+others.

+[proj]: /projects
+[GitHub]: https://github.com/samsonjs
+
+You can learn more about my career on [Zerply][]. Which I can barely write
+with a straight face. *Zerply?*

+
+
+## Where you can find me
+
+On Twitter as [@_sjs][twtr]. On App.net as [@sjs][adn].

+[twtr]: https://twitter.com/_sjs
+[adn]: https://alpha.app.net/sjs
+
+
+## So meta
+
+This site is lovingly hand-crafted, tag by tag and pixel by pixel. It adheres to
+and embraces modern web standards. It is authored in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
+in conjunction with [Markdown][Markdown] and [LESS][], and then it's all
+compiled with [harp][] before [Apache][] serves it up.

+Oh, and a shout out to [Font Awesome][fa] for being awesome.
